Representative Arnold Simpson has filed legislation to scrap the ban four times in the past. And Friday, he will once again present the proposal to an interim legislative committee.</p><p>Many states originally passed such bans in order to crack down on voter fraud and vote buying. Now, South Carolina is the only other state that still bans alcohol sales on election days.</p> Mon, 09 Jul 2012 19:24:06 +0000 Kenny Colston 955 at http://wfpl.org Lawmaker Will Again Try to Lift Ban on Election Day Alcohol Sales
